Quit with the Magic Twanger Froggy!

A while back Norbert discovered that it was fun to play with the door doynger* in my room. This particular DD is attached to the wall, so I took a big block of corrugated cardboard, gouged a hole in the middle, and stuffed it over the doynger. Problem solved, and actually the solution came with the bonus of getting Norbert interested in her cardboard scratchy box.

Unfortunately Norbert has gone on to discover the doynger in the bathroom. It's attached to the door, so it's much harder to silence. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it yet. It has to be something that stops the noise, yet doesn't make noise itself. Something which is either not any fun to play with, or fun to play with in a quiet way. Both happy and sad. Fast and slow.

The doynger must have a Zen fix.



*Door Doynger, Noun: A piece of hardware constructed of a tapered spring with a rubber cap which is anchored to a door or wall to prevent a door knob from hurting the sheetrock. (Alternate/true spellings of doynger would be much appreciated.)
